Originally produced by Joan Littlewood for Theatre Royal Stratford East, Oh What A Lovely War is a riot of music and colour from the First World War. This new production directed by multi award-winning Tony Johnson is the perfect musical tribute to the men and women who saved our nation over 100 years ago.
